FWD Coupes

[Kieraw]

Let's hear the suggestions.

Top runners for me are the Honda Accord Coupe V6 6 speed, Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE 6 speed, and Mitsubishi Eclipse. All 2008 brand new models.

Which would you choose and why?

[puff_daddy_58_99]

Don't like the look of the eclipse, and don't like mitsubishi's reliability. Don't like the rear lights of the altima, but the 3.5 engine is fantastic. Looks on the accord are decent, but unless you get the v6 it's underpowered.

Why not look at a used monte carlo ss (which would run the same price as those guys)

I can't stand the sight of that car, let alone drive in it!

Accord Coupe

That V6 is smoothhhhhhh, and VTEC 2nd cam sounds HOT. Oh, and it uses regular.

Last, but not least, it's got a decent sized trunk!

[jedijome]

only problem is the accord is ugly.
get the altima.

I definitely prefer the Altima's looks over the Accord's. Does the 3.5SE 6sp. take regular or premium? The V6 Accord apparently takes regular..

Premium for 3.5SE

We have the '08 Altima Coupes, the 2.5S for my sister & 3.5SE for me (both Premium Packages, CVT).

I can't speak for 6-Speed/Manual but if you are going with Automatic, the CVT with Triptronic Control on the Altima Coupe is THE reason why I would go with it.

Honestly, comparing the two. If you are going with Manual, the only advantage IMO are slightly better Reliability, Interior and Trunk Space.

These are from Premium Package and Features I now think can't live without are...

Push Start Button, Intelligent Key, Push Button Door Handles

the new accord is sexy... especially the v6!

[bmw_xperience]

IMO hondas are way overpriced.. and u need to waste a lot of time haggling the price down

Nissans 3.5 have the best engine with decent pricing

Mitsu = I just don't like the shape... like soap on the road very bubbly

Monte Carlo SS

I love the look of the new altima coupes... I almost bought one but I decided to buy used instead. I might buy one in a few years when or if the used ones are significantly cheaper... also one thing that sucks is you cannot get the premium package if you want the 6spd manual. You HAVE to get an auto if you want dual climate control, leather, etc.

That's because most of the people that can afford that package don't know how to drive manual lmao xD
Just like how the TL doesn't come in manual anymore... Unless you get the Type-S

Not true for the 3.5SE... you can get 6spd manual with the premium package wthout CVT. It seems only the 2.5S you cannot combine Premium with 6spd... unless it is different at the dealership.
